234 Keith Calhoun Mount Moriah Church, 1986 Archival pigment print; 28 x 40 in. Collection of Keith Calhoun ART IN CONTEMPORARY LOUISIANA KEITH CALHOUN b. 1955, New Orleans, Louisiana CHANDRA MCCORMICK b. 1957, New Orleans, Louisiana Husband-and-wife documentary photographers Keith Calhoun and Chandra McCormick have dedicated their careers to examining and presenting the lives, spirit, and culture of black New Orleans. Calhoun and McCormick’s photo essays span the spectrum of working class African-American life, illuminating boisterous second lines, vernacular street scenes, the toil of day laborers, and the lives of Angola inmates and their families. When the flooding of Hurricane Katrina threatened to obliterate the wealth of images in their Lower Ninth Ward archive, Calhoun and McCormick embarked on an extensive salvage project. Their water-damaged photographs, often bleeding with new color, serve as a poignant symbol for the resilience of the city.
